  • ADD is a weblog finalist in SXSW!

    Honored to find out that ADD has been chosen as a finalist in the weblog category for SXSW 2004! Can’t wait to go to the event in March.

  • It’s an electrolumniscent world after all

    I’m a nut for anything illuminated (eg. my sculptures circa 1999) so this is definitely something I can relate to… “Illuminated Handbags. Ladies, suppose that your handbag featured a “cool, gentle light”…

  • Smarter Bookmarks

    “Smarter Bookmarks. How do you find your favorite websites? Some people, reports Lisa Guernsey in The New York Times, “try to keep track of websites by sending themselves an e-mail message with…

  • Venice beach

    Finally, the sand of Venice Beach under my feet!  When I left Ithaca, NY two days ago, there was snow on the ground and a storm on the way.  Meanwhile, in Southern…

  • Marina Del Ray

    View out of my hotel room in Marina Del Ray, CA.

  • LA

    Traveling to LA for a new client meeting at LMU.  Looking forward to warmer weather and seeing the Pacific again.  Hopefully, I’ll have time to head to Venice beach and Santa Monica…

  • View of the Rockies

    On the flight to LA today at 11:14 EST.

  • RSS

    Remember “push” technology? It was all the rage back in 1997 when Pointcast launched its software that turned a PC screensaver into a headline ticker for all sorts of real-time information. The…

  • Foyer, Le Royal Meridian, Montreal

    Beautiful although extremely cold (-20) in Montreal.

  • Montreal

    Montreal’s metro underground.  Above ground, the temperature was far below freezing with a wicked wind chill.  Nonetheless, I can see the charm of the city and enjoyed its distinct French heritage (particularly…

  • Cyber-Feminism is the Issue

    Cyberfeminism is the theme of the current issue of ArtWomen, an online journal of feminist art. Contributing writers are Carolyn Guertin, Maria Fernandez, Cindy Gabriela Flores and the cyberfeminist cell subRosa, giving…

  • New Year

    Max and I are off to celebrate the new year with a dual part adventure.  First, we’re heading up to the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks for camping, snowshoeing, and hiking…

  • Holidays

    Nothing can compare to spending a week during Christmas with my family and Max playing mahjong, talking, lounging about, and eating real gourmet food (mom’s).

  • Snow pool

  • Metro stop at DCA

    Metro platform at DCA airport.

  • Creative minds at work

    I ran out of time to do a 30 second commercial for the moveon.org contest, but over 1000 other people managed to squeeze it in!  I can’t wait to watch these over…

  • Kid robots jogging

    Newscasters seemed to be mocking Sony’s child-shaped walking robot that can now jog.  Personally, I think it’s amazing that the robot can now actually jump and lift itself off the ground. Sony…

  • Oswego

    Heading up to Syracuse tonight, then driving with JH to conduct a usability test with students in Red Creek, NY.  Interested to see their reactions to the interfaces.

  • Lost in

    Didn’t want to return to the real world after seeing Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation.  Pursuing the dreamy movie mood, we walked out of the theater into a crisp winter night.  Snow…

  • Emily in Hong Kong

    Spotted in Hong Kong by my brother.

  • Bots

    “Sometimes you feel like you just want to pet them,” says one of the computer scientists who works at SRI International, speaking of the more than one hundred little red robots (called…

  • The Station Agent

    Had to see The Station Agent after reading the plot.  Tender story, memorable characters, amazingly subtle film.  Patricia Clarkson was great and I hope to see Peter Dinklage in more films, too.

  • Welcome to V4

    Restructured the information architecture of the site, moved studio projects into a gallery and added work from 1996 – 2003, an ongoing process as you can imagine.  Enjoy exploring.

  • Time for a change

    It’s starting to get dark at 5 pm but that doesn’t mean things have slowed down.  A new artcodes design is underway and will launch soon.  Multiple web and digital projects are…

  • Digital Ritual

    In a new effort to refocus on some personal work (vs. professional work, which I love, but it’s been an eight month, seventy hour a week obsession), I’ve decided to mark the…
